WASHINGTON, (J T A) — The
charge that world Zionism seeks
to achieve the migration of
American Jewish youth to Israel
through slanted text books in
religious schools was made by
Lessing J. Rosenwald, president
of the American Council for
Judaism, in his annual report to
the national conference of the
organization which is taking
place here.
Rosenwald asserted that
the textbooks used in Jewish re-
ligious schools in this country
"were saturated with separa-
tism." He said that the Council,
in addition to analyzing such
religious school texts. and urg-
ing their banishment from
schools professing to give religi-
ous education, is also "well em-
barked upon a program of
sponsoring the creation of ac-
ceptable religious texts, free of
nationalist bias."

The leader of the American
Council for Judaism also re-
ported that the major portion
of funds colleeted by the
United Jewish Appeal "is at
the disposal of the World
Zionist Organization." He said
that all the fund-raising ef-
forts for Israel in the United
States "impose upon American
Jews the fullest possible bur-
den of Israel's national finan-
cial obligations." He urged the
delegates "to alert" American
Jews "to the degree to which
they have been sucked into
this foreign, political mael-
•strom while they imagined
they were supporting needy
co-relig ionists."

that although he is concerned
with the over-population prob-
lem in Israel, any suggestion he

was opposed to Zionism was
"definitely out of context."

The four-day annual con-

vention of t h e American
Council for Judaism closed
with the adoption of a resolu-
tion to notify the Republican
and Democratic Party nation-
al committees, the respective
national conventions of the
parties and their candidates
for public office this year that
there is no such thing as a
"Jewish vote." Lessing J. Ros-
enwald was re-elected presi-
dent.

The anti-Zionist group called
attention to the "co-mingling of
charitable and political causes
in the existing structure of Unit-
ed Jewish Appeal," and urged
the UJA leaders to "correct this
situation." Still another resolu-
tion declared that it is "pre-
sumptuous" to suggest that be-
cause an American citizen is of
the Jewish faith, he has a
"unique duty" to purchase Is-
raeli bonds. It added that the
Council was "deeply disturbed"
by the promotion of Israel bond
sales in synagogues and religious
schools.

EXCLUSIVE! ! GEIGER
COUNTERS WANTED: Persis-
tent reports from authorita-
tive circles'reveal that Ameri-
can atom scientists working in
Israel with the approval of the
'United States government
have discovered radio-activity
in the waters of the Tiberias
Hot Springs.
This sensational discovery is
expected to be followed by in-
tensive prospecting for ura-
nium and other ores used in
making atomic bombs. Un-
covering of such deposits
would revolutionize I s r a e l's
economy and eventually solve
the country's fuel and finan-
cial problems.
Prominently mentioned
among. physicists who made
the discovery in Tiberias is
David Rosenblatt, a New York
scientist, now studying at the
Haifa Technion for his doc-
torate. His research in Israel
was made possible by t h e
American Technion S o c i e t y
under a grant from the found-
ation .established by Houston
(Texas) philanthropist F. Jul-

. ius Fobs.

Rosenblatt is the son of
former New York City magis-
trate Bernard A. Rosenblatt,
a well-known American Zion-
ist who was chairman of the
Palestine Foundation Fund in
1943.
First tip to the possibility of
radio-activity in Tiberias was
one - line reference in 1951
Technion Yearbook by Dr.
Sydney Goldstein, Technion
vice-president. He mentioned
there that a thesis for the
doctor's degree was in pre-
paration at Haifa on the sub-
ject of "radio-activity of the
Tiberias Hot Springs." At that
time, only negative results had
been found.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF- New
York political circles are buzzing
with excitement over the sug-
gestion to put up Senator Herb-
ert H. Lehman as the State's
"favorite son" candidate for the
Democratic nomination for
President of the United States.

Even as a gesture, this would
mark the first time in American
history that a Jew would be a
